Classic Cars available for purchase

This is a discussion on Classic Cars available for purchase within Vintage Cars & Classics in India, part of the BHP India category; Relief to find this one getting restored.
Nice pics Stan.
Watching this space for further progess on this....

Sirji, This is at My Nagpur farm for 5 years now. Had bought it from the American Consulate.Have pics somewhere which will hunt out and forward to you, and whenever your in Nagpur please go nad see her.

Again, this is open to interpretation. There were many options offered, perhaps not simultaneously. There was a dark brown, ivory, and black offered at some point of time in the production cycle. This is moreso valid as these earliest cars were probably assembled with leftover parts from other markets, just like Standards.

Dear Friend, The quote is in $s, not rinngits or Rs.. So its $29500= Rs.12lacs!
I own a Toyota FJ seiries of 1988 LWB Troop carrier, with the same Hino Engine 3.5litre. There was no 4 litre Hino engine in these cars then imo.

Well, as for the option on this car, here are these pics. I just took now, after removing the steering wheel cover- fortunately or otherwise I also discovered as to why the cover was put in the first place! 'got to be careful with those cracks!
Note the original colour even on the rear side of the wheel (sorry but these are the best shots I could get), except on one of the spokes.
Anyways, 'hope this clarifies it once & for all (haha! first time I beat you in fiat trivia, Karl! )

Im not following something here. I havent questioned the aunthenticity of the wheel, so wheres the question of you beating me?

Like I said, they came in ivory, dark brown and black. This one appears to have been ivory originally, darkened with time. Agreed, the colour cannot be strictly termed ivory, its a tad too dark for that. Its just the terminology I used for lack of a better word.

As you stated that its open to interpretation when I stated that it wasnt black but an ivory-ish colour, only painted black.

Well this certainly isnt dark brown (I have one such wheel in that colour), which leaves ivory as the only option.

Ah, now I understand what you were referring to. When I said its open to interpretation, I was replying to your post stating that the wheel should be ivory, and I assumed you implied only ivory was offered. Hence the confusion. I did not mean any point that the wheel on this car should be black.

Well methinks that it is indeed Ivory. Karl remember the immaculate car at the VCCCI rally. That had ivory everything and the gear lever was almost as orange/brown as tis one. I think time does this to ivory colour

There is a Morris Minor for sale in Bangalore (Low Light)

saw this ad on kijiji

There is a Mk1 Herald advertised in this month's autocar India. Only 40K, looks decent too.

'had spoken to Ishaan yesterday- his friend in Jaipur wasnt feeling well so couldnt check out the car. He was willing to do so today, so called up the doctor to inform him, only to be told that the car has been sold & delivered to someone else (no idea where) over the weekend itself!
